Breaking his silence on the matter, Aly finally addressed the controversy and explained his side.
He shared, “I honestly didn’t even realise it. I was lost in my thoughts and never imagined it would become such a big issue. This was actually my first time attending Ganpati celebrations because I usually don’t go. I wasn’t sure what exactly was expected of me, and I was worried I might unknowingly do something wrong.”
Clarifying further, he added, “According to my religion, we don’t perform puja. Our belief is in offering namaz and prayers, while also respecting all faiths. The Quran teaches us to show respect to every religion, and that is exactly what I do.”
Fans and audiences have appreciated Aly’s honesty and openness in handling the situation, with many praising him for being upfront about his beliefs while also emphasising respect for all communities.
This candid response from the actor has not only put the controversy to rest but has also earned him admiration for his maturity and clarity.
